Queen Esther Omoye Erediauwa is Dead

TODAY WE THE GREAT PEOPLE OF BENIN KINGDOM MOURN THE PASSING AWAY OF OUR GREAT QUEEN, QUEEN ESTHER OF BENIN KINGDOM. MAY HER SOUL FIND PEACE. 


The Eson n'Erie's Royal Sail  - (dedicated to HRM & Oto'Edo).

The boundary gate at Ughoton is opened.
Royally opened.
The Royal band of Enikaro are assembled.
Majestically assembled.
A queen of queens is led to her ship to sail.
Enikaro sail.

Ocean be calm! 
Gravely calm.
Waves and billows swallow your anger!
Bitter anger.
On this ship sails a Royal Bead of Benin.
Ancient Benin.

All ye sea billows that bicker and roll! 
All ye pirates that frighten and raid!
All ye sharks that tear and rip!
All ye daughters of Okun & Ovia!
Make way! Make way! Make way!
Our mother is passing thru.....
Eson n'Erie is on this Royal sail.

Rest in Peace Queen of Queens!
Go to Enikaro, and don't forget Imanirowa!
